My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed R.M. Gilmore’s take on a vampire love story and vampires in general. The story took a different turn for me and I was left wondering at times who really was the good guy. R.M. Gilmore created a vibrant world that was colorful and full of some very interesting characters. This was a joy to read and I look forward to reading more from R.M. Gilmore.

I know every time I pick up a R.M. Gilmore books will be awesome. Her stories really make me think throughout the story. This story is no different. This plotline is a suspense paranormal genre. There is something in it for everyone. I found myself flying through the pages because I wanted to know what was coming around the corner. I did finish the book in one sitting. The characters are unique and fully developed. Dylan is a journalist who takes her job seriously. She is a strong female character. She is trying to figure out what is going on. She needs to see if there is really a vampire causing this death. I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to see what the series holds for us.

The Scene by R.M. Gilmore was a great novel! I loved reading this story, I could hardly put it down! Some mystery and suspense, mixed with the paranormal and a bit of gore was the perfect combination for a great book. Loved Dylans’s quick wit and dry humor. That type of humor is a favorite of mine! I immensely enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the next installment!

The Scene ( Dylan Hart #1) by R.M. Gilmore
4 Stars!!!!
It’s a wonderful feeling finding a new author and a new series. This is the first book by this author I have read and the first book in the series and I was not disappointed. The author has a very refreshing style and characters. I really love the whole investigative journalist angle and come on who doesn’t love vampires! I really like how the characters just jump right off of the page and I felt as though I was in the thick of it with them.
I really could see myself in Dylan’s place chasing the story and chasing all the leads. I really like how she is down to earth and isn’t afraid to get the story. I also like how the author doesn’t make the story transparent and that it makes the reader just as much an investigator as Dylan. I really like the chemistry between Dylan and the detective and also Dylan and Cyrus. I like how she is a bit uncertain about Cyrus and I look forward to how things progress in the series with this. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series.

The Scene (Dylan Hart Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore is slow to grow on you but once you got going couldn’t put it down kind of read. Some of the characters you loved to hate and others like Dylan were down to earth and oh so sassy and bad mouthed. I loved her and found myself laughing at her and her ballsy attitude. I don’t know what I expected but RM definitely keeps you on your toes right throughout and delivers a little gem. I am now about to head on to book 2 and see what delights and trouble Dylan finds herself in once again.

This is a great book with a realistic heroine.
Dylan is a jouranlist who is wanting to write a story about the recent “vampire” style murders. The victims are found drained of blood. Is there such a thing as vampires or is it someone who is acting like one.
She finds herself caught up in the world of the dark and undead, experiencing things she never thought she would ever experience.
Can she solve the murders or will she get dragged into the world of vampires.
Dylan is a really whitty and funny character that you cant help but fall in love with and she tells it like it is. I really enjoyed this story.

The Scene is a book I probably wouldn’t normally read but I was looking for something a little different and I have read something by this author previously so I thought I would give it a go and overall I really enjoyed it. The writing was really good, the author drew me in but I will admit it did take a couple of chapters to fully get into but once I did I was fully absorbed in what I was reading. I actually wasn’t sure I would relate to the main character but I did really like her, she had this real feel about her, confident and sassy yet unsure of herself. She was really funny and made me laugh on more than one occasion. The storyline was really good and had a great pace to it; I actually read it really quickly! I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!

The Scene is the first book in the Dylan Hart Series by R.M. Gilmore. This book was even better than I’d imagined. I was hooked right from the beginning, completely engrossed by the unfolding story. R.M Gilmore has such a detailed and descriptive style- bringing all her words to ‘life’ and giving it a dynamic and exciting quality that made it impossible to put down.
Dylan Hart is a journalist who is on the trail of the story of a lifetime- investigating the possibility of vampires as murder victims turn up drained of blood. But things soon get complicated and dangerous. Things aren’t quite what they seem. Dylan’s investigation has put a target on her back, and she is soon fighting for her life. What happens makes for a thrilling read.
I will be one-clicking the rest of this series to explore asap!
Fantastic!
Thank you, R.M Gilmore!

I give The Scene (Dylan Hart Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore, 5 atars.
I absolutely loved this book! If I could, I would give it 10 stars. It is so refreshing to see something new in the mystery/whodunit genre. Yes, it is more common to have female lead characters and mysteries dealing with the occult and supernatural nowadays, but the way the author puts all of this together makes for a hysterical, gripping read. It reminded me heavily of the show Kolchak: Night Stalker, but female and much, much snarkier. I instantly fell in love with Dylan. Bigger than most girls with a personality to match, she is just what I want to see in a lead. She knows she isn’t perfect, but she tries to overcome her insecurities and work with what she has. Then there are the secondary characters. Her best friend is amazing and just what you would expect for Dylan. Then there are the men — my jury is still out on them, but again I hope to see more of them.
Let us not forget the story itself. It based around some murders of women that are quite strange. Dylan decides to look into it more and the deeper she goes, the more she realizes she needs to solve this. Along the way, she begins to question her sanity when it looks like it could be vampires. The author pulls all of the elements together perfectly and throws you right into the story. She does such a seamless job of it, you have to remember where you are when you close the book.
If you are a fan of dark, snarky female leads in a mystery suspense dealing with the supernatural, this book is definitely for you. The subject matter and language is quite adult at times, so make sure you are okay with this first. If you like the edgier side of things, get this book now!

5-stars
The Scene (Dylan Hart Series Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore was exciting and intriguing. Dylan was on the hunt for why girls were showing up dead as if a vampire had killed them for her book. Little did she know that she would get pulled in and put herself on the killer’s radar. Her character was hilarious, witty, and smart. I loved her way of thinking and her frequent conversations with herself. I also loved bff Tatum. Those two were like two peas in a pod. It was amazing how in sync they were and how easily they worked together to find out information. I loved their shenanigans in this book. This was such an excellent read. I can’t wait to get started on the next book. I easily give it 5-stars.

This book turned out different then I expected and I loved it. The entire time I was reading this story I kept trying to figure out who was doing these heinous crimes. Dylan’s character is different from most, she is a short fuller woman with attitude, and wit, I loved her. This story has vampires, suspense, danger, wit and wonderful characters. There were unexpected twists and turns, I had a hard time putting this book down because I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next. I can’t wait to read the next one, I highly recommend this book.

5 out of 5 stars
The story The Scene (Dylan Hart Series Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore is a horror book that kept me turning pages. I was always wondering what would happen next. It pulled me in from the very beginning and once started I found myself not able to put it down. I loved the character of Dylan Hart. She is strong, independent, sassy, has plenty of wits, and determination. She is a journalist that is looking into a story. A story that includes vampires. What will she find? Read this book to find out. Dylan is sassy and can easily turn on the sarcasm when needed. She is a likable character and I found myself quickly rooting for her to find out the truth of the story she is working on. The story has action, suspense, danger, and some chilling scenes. I have loved stories about vampires and the occult for a long time and this story is a good example of why. There are twists and turns in the book that I didn’t see coming. There are quite a few additional characters that are introduced. Some I enjoyed reading about, such as Dylan’s bestie, and then others who are mysterious, and I had to wonder what their real agenda is. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you glued to the pages until the ending. I would highly recommend reading it.

The Scene by R.M. Gilmore a thrilling five-star read. This is the first novel in the Dylan Hart series and what a start, I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the rest of the series. Dylan Hart just made me smile so much, honestly the character was sublime, there was just something warm and fuzzy with a scrappiness to it. The thing is Dylan is great, but the rest of the characters just brought out so much of the story, it had me laughing one-minute biting my nails in the next. This was just an engaging and compelling story that you would be sad to miss.

4 Stars
Dylan Hart is a journalist. She decides to write a book to pay off her student loans. There is a serial killer on the loose. All his victims were left bloodless as if a vampire killed them. There is no better fodder for her book than this. While chasing down clues and doing research, she puts herself in the killer’s sights. Dylan has to fight for her life while trying to figure out who the killer is. Who can she trust when everyone is a suspect?
I really liked Dylan as a character. She was a no nonsense, down to earth kind of girl who had normal insecurities and self confidence issues. Being on the bigger side, she has never had the “hot guy” after her. Now that Cyrus is interested in her, can she trust him? I didn’t like Tatum. I almost wished she was one of the victims. I know that’s mean but the way she treated Dylan is not the way you should be treating your best friend.
The story introduces you to the underground culture of vampirism; the clubs, cults and people who believe themselves to be vampires. This is not your typical vampire novel. The author never confirms that any of the characters are vampires leaving you constantly guessing. You are forever walking the line between believing they really are or that they are nut jobs who think they are. Though at times I found the book a little long, it was well written and the storyline kept me interested. I’m looking forward to reading book two to see what other trouble Dylan can get into.

I loved this book and the edge sitting suspense-paranormal it brings. This is a book that had me turning pages fast and kept me engaged throughout the story. I was pulled right into the story from the beginning. This is a fast pace story that I read in one sitting. The characters made me feel as if I was right there with them. Dylan is a journalist that takes on an assignment of a lifetime until it turns dangerous. The question remains if she will survive? How many more will turn up dead? Could the murderer really be a vampire? I loved Dylan’s character, she is full of attitude and she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. She is strong and seems to get herself in danger easily. She makes the story for me and I highly recommend her story.

R.M. Gilmore is a paranormal and mystery/suspense writer and creator of the occult bestselling Dylan Hart series. She resides in the Pacific Northwest with her teenage minion, bearded man-child, and toys still in the box. With an awkward and incessant sense of humor, it is likely she will die laughing.
